Steam Updates

<div class="IPBDescription">Quick Question</div>Here's something I was wondering concerning Steam updates:


How long does it take for UWE to release a patch through Steam? Does it have to go through an authentication process on Steam's end that could take a minute or an hour depending, or does UWE basically upload the updates and Steam distributes it to clients as soon as it is finished? I've also wondered about how often UWE is "allowed" to update through Steam, considering the possibility that there could/will be game-breaking (game crash) glitches and bugs that are quick patches as far as programming in concerned but then how long on top of that until the update can be rolled out to everyone?

I hope this isn't covered by the NDA :P

    From what I've gathered from other games on Steam there's a couple of hours delay from uploading it, to the content servers distributing it out, nothing more.

    Not like that terrible Games for Windows Live that adds 2 months to patch dates :s
